Michigan State Police have confirmed a 24-year-old Shepherd woman took her own life on Saturday in a jump from the Mackinac Bridge, according to published reports.

The woman has subsequently been identified as Brandi Hoffman, according to Det. Robin Sexton of the St. Ignace Post. Hoffman reportedly drove her vehicle to the north side of the bridge around 3 a.m., exited and jumped nearly 100 feet into the waters of the Straits of Mackinac.

“Apparently, she was depressed,” said Sexton. “That’s the number one reason for suicide.”

Published reports further indicate the U.S. Coast Guard responded to the scene with a helicopter from Traverse City and a 47-foot life boat from station St. Ignace, but did not find any sign of the woman.
